Riesling

Riesling

Germany's favorite son, and the grape responsible for making some of the greatest wines in the world, grows well in many areas of our country, including California, Washington, New York, Michigan, New Mexico, Texas and Oregon. Riesling thrives in a cool growing region, yet requires a long ripening to bring out its best characteristics. Perhaps the most versatile white wine with food, Riesling can be vibrant and forward in its fruit, with Granny Smith apples or near-ripe pears taking the fore, underlined by a hint of soft lime-like citrus, with floral qualities in the nose and honey and spice scents.
